The Portland Timbers have found their mystery winger, according to a report from the Oregonian's Jamie B. Goldberg, and will be bringing in Leicester City Midfielder Jack Barmby. Barmby, 21, is a left footed attacking midfielder, able to play on either flank or in the middle of the pitch.
There has not yet been any word as to the length or terms of the loan, or if the Timbers have their usual option to buy in place for the young Englishman. That may not be necessary, however, as TransferMarkt.com lists Barmby's contract as expiring at the end of June, at which point he could potentially join the Timbers on a free transfer.
